ok, i see ddr 400, but no mention of mb, and cpu, but it's safe to assume it's quite new. 3.25 beta console, and just use the flags as per the team page guide. one consideration is to specify FAH WU preference under advanced config options, and 100%cpu (windows version). i use low priority setting. accept other defaults, and let it crunch away. use ctrl -c to close the console version correctly (or pause then quit the graphical version).

After setting your F@H on desktop open properties and on the target line insert -advmethods -forceasm. it should look like this when done "C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\winfah.exe" -forceasm -advmethods
Make sure you have a space before each hyphen in it.

pretty sure ...winfah.exe is the 3.24 version, which only applies forceasm on the first WU, and not the successive WU's. 3.25 beta has been reworked to keep -forceasm active. -forceasm "flag" applies sse speed boost, by using the sse optimizations on the cpu. might be as much as a 20% speed boost (provided sse is ion the cpu). 3.25 beta link is at bottom of downloads page. but adding the flags will be exactly as gryphen states. just a heads up regarding how the 3.25 beta is better than 3.24 version.

copy of changelog:

Folding@Home 3.25 beta May 7, 2003

----------------------------------------------------------------------THIS BETA WILL NOT EXPIRE.

3.25 beta (unmarked)--------------------- If -forceasm is used, then on every execution of the core until the client is restarted, SSE optimizations will be used if possible (ifthe chip is an AMD chip, then be default, without the flag, it wouldnot be chosen over 3DNow). Prior to this client, this effect would haveheld true only for the first work unit run after starting the client.

This is exactly what I do on my 1.5gig + comps and I set my client type to "folding@home".....but one more point. I set the Core priority to "slightly higher".

with my less than 1.5gig comps I set my client type to "Genome at home" or "no preferance"....I find that this way it seems to download 100 framers and usualy 50 points (score) hey I must be doing something right look at my average..... score 1834....WUs 41 = 44.7 points per WU

oh put this on my moms machine too so now i got a superfast machine at my friends house folding and my moms machine folding i wish i had internet i wish my job haddnt screwed me over so that i would have had internet by now
